Standouts: The vitality tonics are unlike any mocktail I've ever had - mentawai and sienna. The French toast is enormous so we had to take the rest home.

There were 3 of us and we split the French toast, Turkish eggs, and the panna cotta which was a good combination and a good amount of food. Lots of complexity with the flavors! However, the service was subpar. Our server asked us about things multiple times. Then didn't get us water, extra share plates, more bread, etc. we had to ask others or get things ourselves. Overall the food made it 100% worth it but the service did not compare and it wasn't even a busy morning.

While I have thoroughly enjoyed the pizza both times I've been here, this time I wanted to try something new. Nothing was really calling out to me except for The vegan Breakfast Tacos.

Like Green Grove is perfect for people that are gluten-free or simply trying to cut out so much wheat or try some healthier alternatives!

We love sitting outside on the patio, the service is consistently fantastic, and the drinks are great -- especially the Paloma. There's a good variety of food, but I think the sushi is one of the standouts. The inside has a great ambience too, and I love sitting at the bar. Such a great addition to The Forum. One of my FAVORITE things about The Henry, though, is how they handle the bill for large groups. We'll have 12 people at the table, and at the end everyone can just scan the QR code, select the items they ordered, and pay separately. No figuring out who owes what or making the server run multiple cards. Why every restaurant doesn't do this, I have no idea! Definitely one of our go-to spots.

We stopped by The Original 101 Diner for breakfast while spending the day in Encinitas, and it was…read morea great choice. The diner is conveniently located right along the main street, surrounded by local shops and restaurants. There was both indoor and outdoor seating available, and we chose to sit inside. Everything was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We were seated immediately when we arrived, but by the time we left there was a small wait, which tells me this is a popular spot with both locals and visitors. I ordered the two-piece French toast with a side of bacon. The portion size was just right, the French toast was delicious, and the bacon was cooked exactly the way I like it--crispy around the edges without being overdone. I have to laugh because I started eating before I remembered to take pictures...haha! So my French toast photo is missing a few bites, but I guess that's a pretty good indication that I couldn't wait to dig in. Overall, we had a wonderful breakfast and enjoyed our experience from start to finish. If you're looking for a classic diner while visiting Encinitas, I would definitely recommend stopping by. Next time I'd love to come back and try lunch. (I'll take better photos ).

They have two dirty high chairs and one of them was missing safety straps. The service was ok. Update: The owner's response to my review was simply, "Yeah relax." Unfortunately, that response reinforces the concerns I had about this business. Rather than addressing the issues I raised--food quality, cleanliness, and child safety--they chose to dismiss a customer's honest feedback. Reviews exist to help businesses improve and to inform other customers about their experiences. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful; I was sharing what we genuinely experienced. A professional response would have acknowledged the concerns or explained how they planned to address them. Instead, the dismissive reply speaks volumes about how customer feedback is valued here. Based on both our visit and the owner's response, I won't be returning, and I hope they choose to take customer concerns more seriously in the future.

I liked the vintage car they had, in addition to the fresh green plants which were very relaxing. The aroma of fresh coffee with fresh air created a very enjoyable atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu included drip coffee, cold brew, matcha, cappuccino, espresso, latte , assorted pastries, sandwiches and more. We ordered two Cappuccino and Iced caramel latte. Their cappuccino was rich and had velvety texture with an adorable heart design on the top. The caramel latte had the right amount of sweetness with strong coffee flavor. For breakfast, we ordered toasted asiago bagel with cream cheese. It was fresh savory, crispy from outside, light and chewy from inside. We also got a breakfast sandwich in a biscuit. The sandwich filling included eggs, Swiss cheese, arugula, bacon with light spread of cream cheese. It was fresh, savory and flavorful.
